PAPERZILLA
High-signal always up-to-date research data feeds
Research feeds for people and agents

AI Agents welcome.

Connect an agent to a Paperzilla project. New papers are monitored and ranked against your research question, so every run starts with an up-to-date feed.
Claude · Codex · OpenClaw · Cursor · your agent
Use the same project in the app, by email, through MCP or the CLI, and as an RSS/Atom feed.
Why a research feed

A Paperzilla project keeps your topic, filters, and feed between sessions.

The project stores the topic, categories, include and exclude keywords, plus the matching papers found over time.
Paperzilla handles monitoring and relevance ranking. Your agent can read the feed, compare papers, prepare briefs, and send them where they are needed.

Agent capabilities

What an agent can do with a Paperzilla project.

Through MCP or the CLI, an agent can search the full feed and retrieve paper metadata or Markdown.
01
Projects
List projects and inspect the topic, mode, visibility, and project ID before the agent starts reading.
02
Recent feed items
Pull recent recommendations and filter by Must Read status, date, or result limit.
03
Full-feed search
Server-side search covers titles, authors, abstracts, and summaries across the whole project feed. Feedback filters are available too.
04
Paper and recommendation records
Retrieve either the canonical paper record or its project recommendation, including relevance, note, and feedback context.
05
Paper markdown
Retrieve paper markdown when ready or queue its preparation when project context allows it, with a structured status.
06
Atom URL
Use the private, tokenized project URL with a feed reader, poller, or existing feed infrastructure.
Paperzilla MCP is read-oriented. Use the CLI when an automation should leave Useful, Very useful, or Not for me feedback on a recommendation.
Connection options

Choose how the agent connects.

MCP, the pz CLI, RSS/Atom, and the app all read from the same Paperzilla project.
Native tool calling
MCP
Use MCP for native tool calling in supported assistants. The Paperzilla MCP endpoint is read-oriented.

Documented setups

Connect Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, or another agent.

Use MCP for native tool calls or the pz CLI for shell-based workflows.
OpenClaw
Skill + CLI
The published Paperzilla skill on ClawHub teaches OpenClaw how to use an installed and authenticated pz CLI. Once configured, OpenClaw can use it in chat, cron jobs, and channel delivery.
Setup guide ↗
Claude
MCP or CLI
Use the Paperzilla MCP connector in Claude, Claude Desktop, or Cowork if your plan supports custom connectors. Claude Code can also run pz directly.
Setup guide ↗
Codex
MCP or CLI
Connect Paperzilla through Integrations & MCP, or let Codex run pz in a shell. Use a Codex automation to prepare a recurring brief.
Setup guide ↗
Your agent
MCP or CLI skill
Cursor and other Streamable HTTP MCP clients can use the endpoint. AgentSkills-compatible clients can use the CLI skill when pz is installed and authenticated.

Channel workflows

Send research briefs to Telegram, Slack, or Teams.

Paperzilla provides the project feed and relevance ranking. OpenClaw, Claude, or Codex can turn the results into a brief and pass it to a channel connector.
Start by reviewing drafts. Direct posting needs a configured connector with permission to post in the channel.

Use cases

Common research workflows.

01
Daily field monitoring
Review the latest Must Read papers in one field without rebuilding a search every day.
02
Topic watchlists
Keep a separate, tunable project for each major research direction.
03
Executive or lab briefings
Prepare weekly briefs from a project’s Must Read papers for labs, leaders, or team channels.
04
Methods and benchmarks
Track methods, model families, datasets, benchmarks, or experimental paradigms.
05
Competitive and adjacent work
Watch nearby research that could change a roadmap or reveal an unexpected direction.
06
Agent pipelines and automation

For agents reading this

Documentation an agent can read directly.

Every docs page is available as Markdown. The site also publishes LLM indexes and a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint.
Markdown documentation
Every docs page has a Markdown version that an agent can read directly.
Documentation indexes
Use the compact docs index for discovery or the full export when the agent needs the whole documentation corpus.
Remote MCP endpoint
Connect a Streamable HTTP MCP client with a personal Paperzilla MCP key. Treat the key like a password.
FAQ

Common questions.

Is Paperzilla for humans or AI agents?

Both. Humans can use the app feed and email digests while agents and scripts use MCP, the Paperzilla CLI, or RSS/Atom from the same research project.

Which AI agents work with Paperzilla?

Paperzilla documents workflows for Claude, Claude Desktop, Cowork, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, and other Streamable HTTP MCP or AgentSkills-compatible clients.

What can an AI agent do with Paperzilla?

An agent can list projects, browse ranked feeds, search a full project feed, inspect paper metadata, retrieve or queue paper markdown, and obtain an Atom feed URL. The CLI also supports project-specific feedback.

Can Paperzilla send research briefs to Telegram, Slack, or Microsoft Teams?

Paperzilla supplies the project feed and relevance ranking. OpenClaw, Claude, or Codex can prepare briefs for those channels. Direct posting depends on the agent, connector, permissions, and channel setup.

Is the Paperzilla MCP connection read-only?

Yes. Paperzilla MCP is read-oriented: it does not edit projects or feedback. It can retrieve project data and may queue paper markdown preparation. Use the CLI when an automation needs to leave project-specific feedback.

Connect an agent to a Paperzilla project.

Create one focused Paperzilla project, then connect it to the agent and channel your team already uses.
Treat MCP keys and tokenized RSS/Atom URLs like passwords.
